⚠️⚠️MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE RISE OF SKYWALKER, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK ⚠️⚠️ as the title suggests, this is an alternate ending to the movie The Rise of Skywalker. i absolutely hated the way JJ ended this movie, so i thought i'd write it the way that i wanted it to end. loosely inspired by some other fanfictions i've read on this topic. also, criticism is definitely open, i'm new to this and can use all the feedback i can get. enjoy, and may the Force be with you :)

This story takes place after Episode 9: Rise of Skywalker and does contain contain spoilers from that film as a result. This book is the second book in a series but it is written in a way where you can enjoy it by itself. The first book is called Forced Connection Episode 1. Rey has just lost Ben Solo after he has saved her from the break of death. However, her recently found feeling for him might be clouding her judgment. She swears she still feels him through their dyad connection and wonders if this means there is a chance of his return. This story is about her search for him and answers to other questions as well.

RISE OF SKYWALKER MAJOR SPOILERS!!!! . . . . . . . . . . . . Rey just witnessed the love of her life give his life for her after the death of Emperor Palpatine. Ben Solo finally came back to her...but he's gone now. She knows he's dead...but why can she still feel him. Why is he still calling to her? She knows he is. Even if it's nothing but a whisper...Is there a possibly he's still out there?

"I love you." "I know." ~~~ Ben Solo gave his life for Rey to live. Far across the galaxy, a dying princess believes that her son, the child she failed so miserably, deserves a chance to live. Ben Solo deserves to live as much as Rey does. The Force has kept them alive thus far, but there is no telling where it will take them now... I watched RoS... and I would die for Ben Solo so here we are writing this for y'all to enjoy. Beware the fluff-angst. If you can't handle how much you are going to screech from the pure joy of my writing, then get out. I recommend a pillow to scream into so as not to scare family members, as well as insuring there is nothing breakable around you, as flailing limbs are a hazard. Please vote and comment, I love hearing from you guys. lots of love, Ophelia
